Teacher should nurture child like mother: Vice Chancellor of Sindh Madrasa-tul-Islam University (SMIU) Dr Mohammad Ali Shaikh has said that the role of a teacher should be like a mother, who nurtures and cares her child without wishing any reward from him.
Addressing the faculty members of Sindh Madrasa-tul-Islam Boys Model School and Sindh Madrasa-tuI-Islam Girls Model School on Thursday, he said a good teacher always thinks about good education of students and not for his/her own personal benefits. It has also been observed that the good and dedicated teachers have always received rewards and benefits without any demand. Dr Mohammad Ali while congratulating the 20 teachers of SMIU’s model schools, who received promotions, on the basis of the time scale policy, a few days ago, said that these teachers deserved the promotions, but due to the shortage of funds, the institution failed to take decision in this regard.
However, when SMIU received some amount after its upgradation to the level of university this year, we decided to promote our teachers, who have rendered their countable services for the quality education and betterment of the institution. Dr Shaikh said that amongst the promoted teachers, seven teachers got 19 grade, three teachers 18 grade and 10 teachers 17 grade.
“In return, the institution only demands quality teaching from them, because Sindh Madrasah possesses a high profile in the quality education before and after the partition,” the vice chancellor said. “An institution that produces the leadership, who created a new country on the map of the world, can’t be an ordinary institution,” Dr Shaikh said, adding that they had again to produce the dynamic leadership in all the fields of life.
